The Graphic Design MA at the University for Creative Arts (UCA) is designed for aspiring designers eager to elevate their practice through rigorous research and conceptual development. This postgraduate programme invites you to critically examine contemporary graphic design, exploring advanced specialist tools, methods, and concepts within a dynamic studio environment. You will engage with key debates in the field, honing your ability to undertake focused, independent investigations that challenge existing norms and push creative boundaries. If you are driven to refine your unique visual language and aspire to make a significant impact in the design industry, this Master's degree offers a transformative academic journey.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, your experience will be structured around developing your research skills and culminating in a substantial Major Project. You will explore practice and process through project-based learning, supported by units on research methods and professional practice, enabling you to formulate and realise your ideas. The Major Project is a self-directed period of study where you will demonstrate advanced conceptual, theoretical, and technical capability, drawing on your prior experience and future aspirations. You will graduate with a Master's degree, equipped to pursue advanced roles in graphic design, further study, or entrepreneurial ventures, supported by UCA's strong industry connections.
